I
have had the distinct pleasure of
owning an Anthony Lane cello for
over two years. The response and
tonal qualities of my instrument
far exceed those of any contemporary
instrument that I have played. Remarkably
well set up for maximum comfort
and response, it is a delight to
play! It has a fine, focused tone
that projects beautifully in all
registers.

This is an instrument that I would
not hesitate to play in any concert
setting – orchestra, chamber
music, or in recital. I look forward
to experiencing its development
for years to come.
